S1E56: Night of the Lepus/Ear-resistable, Hare-Brained, Hopping Mad

Steve spends another week busy with HS hockey and Brandon has taken up Taekwondo as an adult. Night of the Lepus: Man's interference in nature comes back to bite him, with two giant anterior incisors. First, a farmer kills off all the coyotes on his land. Then, with no natural predators, the place is overrun by rabbits. What's he supposed to do now? Recruit a scientist to inject chemicals and hormones into the rabbits to kill them off, of course. But, as bad luck would have it, one of the modified rabbits is set free. That little fella procreates prolifically, as rabbits do, and soon, the Arizona countryside has to deal with a horde of giant bunny rabbits. Night of the Lepus final grade: Steve: Takes me back to the old days in Columbus, OH, hiding under my covers and watching creature features with Fritz the Nite Owl. Not a fantastically well-done movie, but the lighting is terrific and the nostalgia even better. 3.89/5.0 Brandon: A snuff film Elmer Fudd would love. Quaintly charming for its lack of special effects used on the "terrifying" rabbit menace. Worth watching if you're curious about stepping outside the standard horror spectacle. 3.03/5.0 MOCKtail of the Week: Sparkling Cherry Mocktail with Lime 2 oz Unsweetened Cherry Juice, "the expensive shit" 1 oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice 1 oz Cherry Simple Syrup Sparkling Water or Club Soda Combine all non-fizzy ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Shake to chill and combine, then strain into a rocks glass over ice. Top with sparkling water. Garnish with lime wedge/slice and cherries. To turn it into a cocktail, Steve added two ounces of vodka Mocktail Grade: A very good non-alcoholic drink. Also, with no articial ingredients and all that stuff, it's a great replacement for your soda of choice. 4.5/5 Cocktail Grade: Delicious and sweet as the NA version. Oddly, kinda picked up a hint of vanilla flavor with the added vodka. Tones down the cherry a bit. 4.5/5 ------------------ Contact us with feedback or cocktail/movie recommendations to: [email protected] X: @boozeandbmovies Instagram: @boozeandbmovies Threads: @boozeandbmovies www.facebook.com/boozeandbmovies
